how many odd numbers less than 10000 can be formed from the digits 0,1,4,5,7 and 8 where no digits are repeated ?

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{We} \mathrm{have} 0,1,4,5,7,8. \\ \mathrm{Number} \mathrm{will} \mathrm{be} \mathrm{odd} \mathrm{if} \mathrm{last} \mathrm{digit} \mathrm{is} \mathrm{odd}. \\ \mathrm{Hence} \mathrm{we} \mathrm{should} \mathrm{have} 1,5 \mathrm{or} 7 \mathrm{in} \mathrm{the} \mathrm{last} \mathrm{place}. \\ \mathrm{Case}\left(\mathrm{i}\right) \mathrm{One} \mathrm{digit} \mathrm{number} \\ \mathrm{Total} \mathrm{numbers}=3 \\ \mathrm{Case}\left(\mathrm{ii}\right) \mathrm{Two} \mathrm{digit} \mathrm{number}. \\ \boxed{4} \boxed{3} \\ \mathrm{We} \mathrm{have} 3 \mathrm{choices} \mathrm{to} \mathrm{fill} \mathrm{last} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{and} 4 \mathrm{choices} \mathrm{to} \mathrm{fill} \mathrm{first} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{as} 0 \mathrm{and} \\ \mathrm{digit} \mathrm{filled} \mathrm{at} \mathrm{unit} \mathrm{place} \mathrm{can}\text{'}\mathrm{t} \mathrm{be} \mathrm{used}. \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Total} \mathrm{numbers}=4\times 3=12 \\ \mathrm{Case}\left(\mathrm{iii}\right) \mathrm{Three} \mathrm{digit} \mathrm{number}. \\ \boxed{4} \boxed{4} \boxed{3} \\ \mathrm{We} \mathrm{will} \mathrm{have} 4 \mathrm{choices} \mathrm{to} \mathrm{fill} \mathrm{middle} \mathrm{number} \mathrm{as} 0 \mathrm{can} \mathrm{also} \mathrm{be} \mathrm{used}. \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Total} \mathrm{numbers}=4\times 4\times 3=48 \\ \mathrm{Case}\left(\mathrm{iv}\right) \mathrm{Four} \mathrm{digit} \mathrm{number}. \\ \boxed{4} \boxed{4} \boxed{3} \boxed{3} \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Total} \mathrm{numbers}=4\times 4\times 3\times 3=144 \\ \Rightarrow \mathrm{Total} \mathrm{odd} \mathrm{numbers} \mathrm{less} \mathrm{than} 10000=3+12+48+144=\mathbf{207}\mathbf{ }\left(\mathbf{Answer}\right) \end{gathered}$$
